A few years ago the complaints about grub's documentation were possibly
justified. Today, less so, And even if there are improvements which can
made it is hardly a justification for the "bring back grub legacy and
give us abandoned software" faction to be considered at all seriously.
configfile is documented in the info pages. The multiboot command
replaces the kernel command; you're on your own with that!
